WH: No mention of Jews on Holocaust Remembrance Day because others were killed too

Not because others were killed, but this is a way to minimize and deligitimize the victims of the 20th century atrocity, genocide.

I am disgusted.

1. I bet this comes from Bannon.

His ex-wife testified in their divorce "He doesn't like Jews."

3. If Bannon hates Jews so much

Why is he hanging around Trump, whose son-in-law is Jewish? Is Bannon trying to undermine the Trump family, too?

[madaboutharry]

7. A lot of things don't make sense with that crowd.

I actually think Trump himself possesses a passive anti-semitism. He might not be an overt anti-Semite, but Trump stereotypes Jews. He trades in Jewish tropes; Jews are good at math, Jews should be your accountant, doctor, lawyer....Jews live in certain neighborhoods and act in certain ways. Hanging around an anti-semite like Bannon wouldn't bother him. And who knows how Kushner feels about Bannon.

12. Lots of people who hate Jews hang around with them

Especially if they work in DC.

2. Ignorance on display in the national spotlight no less. n/t

[Wellstone ruled]

5. Very much so.

BTW,Donnie Dingle Berry called out the Bankers as being a bunch of Jewish crooks during his campaign. And reading about his old man,nothing surprises the world.

14. Not ignorance, no coincidence. See other posts re Holocaust Denial.

4. 372 foreign nationals besides the hijackers

were killed on 9/11. I wonder why the U.S. flag has been flown at every remembrance since then?

6. It's a wink and a smile to his white nationalist base.

This was totally on purpose. And the next day, Netanyahu is all up in Trump's butt about how GREAT his wall is going to be.

10. This

8. Trump and bannon are holocaust deniers

Senator Kaine called them out on this

[Generator]

9. Thanks for getting it!

No mealymouthed alt right white supremacist crap. They act like a Nazi and thus are called on it.

[Hekate]

13. Tim Kaine spoke splendidly on the issue of Holocaust Denial.If saying it never happened doesn't work

....Deniers move into false equivalency by saying only a few Jews were exterminated and the rest were all kinds of other Europeans.

When you frame it this way, erasing the Jews from the Holocaust Remembrance Day proclamation makes perfect sense. And Bannon is a white nationalist anti-Semite.

11. They think the real victims of the Holocaust were the poor SS.

After all, they were just following orders and they got executed for it. And the ones who fled to Sourh America to avoid that brutal persecution continued to be hounded even as they tried to live peaceful lives.
